If I'm a size 32 in the 666xhs, what size would I be in this?

Sweet ride.  Love the headlight and no mirrors.

That chain is in need of some serious love though….

So I finally got these as a present from my girl (thanks babes!)

I went with a size 33, but I think they are too large.  Should have gone with a size 32 instead.  I can wear them and length wise and everything else is good, just the waist is a tad too large.  I can probably pull them an inch from my waist.  Wondering if I should just soak them in really hot water to get them to shrink (will that even work?) or just return them for another pair.  Its a hassle though, cause she ordered them from Japan and the shop is out of 32s…

The denim is amazing though. I'm half tempted to keep them and just go with it....

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Yeap the thighs will fit.  I have a pair of jeans with the thigh measuring 11.5 and they are slightly roomy.  So the size 31 with a measurement of 11.3 will fit.  Just wondering how much stretch I can get out of the waist cause 32.5 inch is spot on.  First couple of wears will be painful and I might have to skip meals till they stretch I think.

Wonder if there are variances and maybe I should ask for the largest of the size 31?  :-\

Hi all,

I have a question regarding sizing.  Waist measures 32.5 inch.  My current jeans and pants are measuring 34 - 34.5.  (I've been wearing them pretty loose)  I'm thinking for these I should go with a size 31 (measuring 32.5) and have them stretch out an inch to 33.5? I won't have problems with my thighs as I am fairly tall and lanky.  Or do you think it will be better to go with tag size 32 (33.5) and wear a belt?

I don't have a chance to try them on and returning them is going to be a pain so I'd like to try to get it right the first time if possible. I'm 183 cm and about 77kg.

Giles, any idea when these are back in stock?

I won't get into specifics, but here is a link if you are interested in finding out more information.

Thanks for advice guys.  Think I will go with the size 33.  I've actually gone ahead and ordered the IH-802 and the IHB01-25 in 33 and 34 respectively.  Can't wait to get them in my hands.

These are really nice….I'm a sucker for bags.  I second the idea of a rerun.

Most of my jeans measure 34 to 34.5 inch.  In the case of 666-XHS the size 33 would be 34 waist inch new as per the sizing chart.  This would stretch to 35 inches based on the description which is too big.

"but like all denim, will stretch up to one inch in the waist with wear"

As size 32 inch comes as measuring 33 waist.  Which, given a one inch stretch would be 34 inches.  More like my current jeans.

Not sure if this logic makes sense….

Thank you for all the replies.

I don't have power lifter thighs.  They are normal so I'm not too worried about not being able to fit. Its more the waist I'm concerned about. If I understand correctly, a size 32 would means a waist of 33 according to the sizing chart.  Plus a little stretch I guess the final size would be 33.5 - 34 inches?  A size 33 would be actually 34 inches and possibly end up stretching to 35?  If this is correct I would guess i'm a size 32 then.  Unless they don't stretch that much around the waist?

Hello all,

First post!

I have the IH-9527J and I'm looking to purchase a pair of IH-666XHS and the IHBX01-25but I'm having trouble figuring out my size.

Measuring tape around my waist is 32.5 inches.  Add a finger space and I'm 33 inches.  I've measured three different pairs of jeans I own and they all seem to be 34 - 34.5 inches, but I have to admit, I like wearing them loose (around the waist, not the legs).

For the IH-666XHS should I be getting a size 33 (waist closer to 34) or a size 32 (waist closer to 33) and then work on stretching them out an inch?

FYI, my measurements are 183 cm, 76 kg.

Any help would be appreciated.  Great forum!
